Parking Brake Cables
For those of you who have updated your rear end but are using the stock front parking brake assemblies from the cab back here is a great resource:

Purests don't get angry.. He took me from stock 47 jbar at the "y" to a 69 GTO rear end. He just needed some good measurements and a pic or two to confirm approx. distances. Didn't know them from a cake of soap but they did me well. Most guys who made cables didn't want to be bothered with a "project". Price was right as well (~$120 for pair).
Just some info, if you need it.

Here's an interesting site www.helmarparts.com for various cable types and lengths. My 71F350 had missing cables and after measuring 2-3 times, I ordered 3 cables from them and fabbed it up to work. Good quality parts and reasonable prices. They are for forklifts etc.
